It was ~67% of eligible voters that were registered to vote. Over 94% of registered voters actually voted.

Of course they are sleeping soundly. They’d literally be marching into the camps convinced they did the right thing.

You said it!

A certain political party benefits from low voter turnout. Which, coincidentally, also happens to be the party working to get Trump elected and shield him from the repercussions of his crimes.

AccuWeather’s business model relies on “adding value” to government-provided data, and monetizing it. Maintaining a fleet of satellites isn’t cheap.

He’s 30 years old, still lived with his parents, and spent all day hanging out with his twelve dude bros in a time before XBox existed.

Of course he was fucking hammered all day.

I choose to believe at this point, Jesus got so drunk he forgot to try it a third time.

…huh. TIL.

The last time I had to download the unifying software it was more obvious than that.

And to add insult to injury…

“Character” is just as much a social construct as gender is. What you call a “test of character” I call a “natural human reaction.”

When you learned about all the evil Hitler did, did you scold the people who celebrated his death? What about Stalin? Pol Pot? Mao? The US government assassinated Bin Laden and the Iraqi people hanged Hussein- did you decry them not being tried for their crimes? Should people not be happy that Lee Harvey Oswald got what he gave out?

Plenty of historians have drawn parallels between what’s happening in the US today and where Weimar Germany was in the 1920’s. Obviously I’m not saying that Trump is on the same level as the other people I mentioned, but if a person truly sees the historical connections, do you blame them for trying to avert what comes next using more extreme methods?

The fact is, political violence has been ingrained into American myth since its inception. Every year of public school we’re taught that the people who overthrew the government with violence were right to do so because they succeeded, while the people who tried to secede with violence were wrong to do so because they failed. Why would you expect any American to not think otherwise? People like Washington and John Brown are hailed as great American heroes for using violence.

On top of that, Donald Trump is a man that the legal system is bending over backwards to prevent him from facing any consequences whatsoever from crimes he’s committed. The “process” isn’t working- is it a shock that when the system is failing the people, the people will take matters into their hands? The voice of the people is systematically being silenced; people will therefore resort to whatever means they have to make themselves heard. This is a constant throughout all of human history.

And not just that, but Donald Trump is the head of a political party that shrugs its shoulders when hundreds of children are murdered in schools or churches or malls annually. Every time a school shooting happens, Republicans rush to decry Democrats for “politicizing” a tragedy to avoid any sort of gun control legislation from even being discussed. Should people not feel some sort of vindication at seeing the party that refuses to address gun violence in the US suffering from that refusal?

So, yeah. I think that someone being upset that a person tried to assassinate a political candidate is a rational response. But I also think it’s not unreasonable to have other feelings about it too.

Now you’ve gotten your inventory counts off. There’s also a (marginal) cost difference between the two size cartons. Of course, this needs to be balanced against customer satisfaction- there will be a non-zero number of customers who won’t want the upsell or to buy an alternative item, and so the question is how much business would you lose vs how much money you’d make offset with the extra time and corporate headache of reconciling inventory?

Not that Sonic shouldn’t do this, just throwing out some real-world considerations.

You mean a buttbuttin?

Edit: Boost for Android won’t let me post it either.

Here’s a short video talking about the results of this experiment, and how each spider reacted to the different drugs.

Based on what he’s said here and over on politics, I’d say he’s trying to create division using whatever wedge issue he thinks will get the most outrage.

It breaks down significantly when the cost of entry becomes prohibitively expensive.

You think you can build a better toothbrush? Go for it.

You hate your ISP and want to start a new one? Good fucking luck.

Right-wingers downplay and deny the end-results of their rhetoric. News at 11.

Yep, run Linux in a virtual machine first, or create a bootable USB drive and run it from there. You should be able to get a good feel for how things work that way.

If you do decide to dual-boot, you’ll need that bootable USB drive because you can’t resize a mounted partition. You’ll need to be careful because you can bork your Windows install if you’re not, but I’ve found most instructions are straightforward and easy to follow.

Also, depending on which version of Windows you have, you might have to disable the TPM which means authenticating your Bitlocker key once you’re done and you re-enable it.

But hey, the fun of Linux is figuring these kinds of things out. Good luck and have fun!

You heretic! I want you to know that if I could discriminate against you for putting pineapple on pizza, I absolutely would!

Yep, there is that too. However, I expect that if Framework ever goes under, nobody else would build the parts because there’s nothing stopping any other company from making them right now.
